Accra's Art Gallery

I hope it's not too late to wish you all a very happy and prosperous 2008.

There appears to be a number of art galleries opening around the world. Here in our home town we are looking forward to the opening of two new art galleries. And, I have also learnt that Kofi Annan, former UN Secretary General has just opened one in Accra, Ghana.

The gallery is a two million dollar multi-purpose Artists Alliance Gallery (AAG) which will serve as a platform for artists to display their works. He has called on Africans to appreciate their works of art and to recognise its value.

He goes on to say, "Artists tell stories that the journalists, politicians, civil society and opinion leaders would not dare say and this shows the important role arts play in the history of people".

As you already know, African art is our thing, I can feel a trip to Ghana coming on.

"African art feeds the soul and makes our world a better place to live in".
